If he's got any sense at all he'll go, and go hard, for the younger voters.The party conference in October will see the unveiling of ideas I’m not sure there will be much if anything before then.
To be honest it’s a gamble expecting to be elected by simply not being the conservatives, my view is that Starmer will have very electable policies but they will not be acceptable to the left of his own party and the second he starts to develop a manifesto that could actually get the Labour Party elected, the Labour Party will eat itself and the internal meltdown/shitshow will very soon put the polls into a tailspin. ‘‘Twas ever thus”
The 18-30 year olds who have more or less only known Tory rule. The (youngest) ones who had no say in the Brexit vote but find their country crumbling because of it. The ones who have seen years and years of corruption and sleaze. The ones who can't afford a house. The ones who won't have much of a climate to enjoy if things carry on.
If they can come up with some policies (that aren't a complete fantasy) to inspire that cohort to go to the polls it could be seismic.
